That's really great. God will send many blessings to all of you. I wish they had something like that here that I could join in to do. I visit nursing homes, but not near as often as I'd like.That just made me think of my today's posting for the July challenge.

July 13) I love people

My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart,and my portion for ever. Psalms 73:26

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19

I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. Philippians 4:13

"If you always do what you've always done, You're Always Going To Get What You've Always Gotten."

Thanks :) My dentist does a party for some of the displaced kids in the area where he and the staff throw a Christmas party. They have Santa, gifts, each child decorates a frame for their Santa picture (as a gift for mom and dad) and they get a new backpack full of foods like canned soup, fruit, healthy snack bars, cocoa mix...a free cleaning/check up and a gift. It really is awesome that they do sooo much! I did 25 hats and 18 scarves for this past Christmas and I am getting going on this years batch. They also do a pumpkin patch, in much the same way, and everyone on staff dresses up in costumes and the dentists dress as scarecrows.

The thing I like about myself today is: July 3) My eyes. July 4) My smile July 5) My new food choices July 6) My ability to say no to those who try to pressure me into eating something I shouldn't. July 7) My perseverance in obtaining my goals July 8) My ability to show compassion July 9) My fingernails ( I never had long nails until I started this life change)

Okay people, I didn't put this challenge here just for me. I want everyone to join in. I know you can find SOMETHING that you like about yourselves.

Hi Team, Here is a little challenge for everyone. It is not focused on food but on YOU. Every day come here and post one thing that you like about yourself. The challenge is that it has to be something different every day. On day one(tomorrow) post one thing, on day two post the thing you said on day 1 and then something else. At the end of the month you will have a whole list on why you are the terrific, wonderful, people you are. The best thing is that you can come back here and read what a wonderful person you really are, anytime you want to. We all have one thing that we like about ourselves, but can we find a whole month's worth of things? I bet if we look deep inside ourselves we will see that there is far more that we like, than we don't. Have a good time with this one.
